- Abstract
Conventional 2D ultrasonography is the gold standard for diagnosing congenital heart disease (CHD). Characterization of complex CHD may be limited by 2D imaging methods that lack crucial spatial information as these images are generated as individual "slices" without orientation and with a limited field of view lacking depth, and therefore not ideal for 3D modeling and printing. While approximately 90% of 3D printed models of the cardiovascular system are derived from CT or MRI1 , these modalities are used sparingly in clinical practice. Advances in 3D/4D ultrasound have expanded the capabilities for assessing the fetal heart and paved the way for creating ultrasound derived 3D printed models. This article is protected by copyright.
